Spent the fall getting her running the way I wanted and rebuilding the trim pump. Had it winterized and the gas tanks are sitting empty.

I am looking for some experienced/expert advice on what steps I need to take before putting her in the water this spring, its gotta warm up soon.

Looking for advice on what fuel octane to use and what brands of additives to put in this season as well.

Thanks

Put fuel and oil in the tank.
Start it on cuffs to burn out the fogging oil.
Replace a plug if you fouled one doing that.
Apologize to the neighbors for the smoke.
Go boating.
